Carlisle 2013 Rossi Ranch Grenache (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Rossi Ranch
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Carlisle / Sonoma Valley

Complex and generous on the palate, this vineyard-designated varietal is surprisingly light and bright in spirit, ethereal even, offering aromas of black pepper, violets and gunpowder, hard to figure out but inviting nonetheless. On the palate, juicy plum and dark cherry provide an exuberant edge.
